APlayerController::SetInputMode (Game Only)
#include "GameFramework/PlayerController.h"
Access: public
Description
Switches input routing so that all input goes exclusively to the game (player controller and pawn) with no Slate/UMG widget focus. The mouse is captured by the viewport. This is the default mode during normal gameplay.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Does not automatically hide the cursor — call `SetShowMouseCursor(false)` separately if needed.
- • Internally calls the single `SetInputMode(const FInputModeDataBase&)` overload with an `FInputModeGameOnly` struct.
